Damm, You're in the loop, ain'tcha. Lol...

P2P committee, we hear things 5 minutes before you do.

Johnsonrod: no customer, no airplanes at this time. Lots of rumors, but that's nothing new. Lots of smoke, but no fire yet.

Actually, AAWW owns 3 777 freighters now on longterm lease for DHL. They were previously owned by Aerologic.

If AAWW were to buy 7x777 and place them with DHL then it would be an ACMI not a CMI. One of the three 777`s AAWW acquired through Titan Leasing is operated by Emirates Cargo and all three are in long term operating lease agreements. I do agree that something is in the works, what that is we can only speculate and if it does not materialize we will never know!:laugh:
